Yeah, we need “more research” because if we keep ‘researching’ all the vets afflicted by Agent Orange will just die off.

Hearing a motion to dismiss is quite possible after this gets out of the House

A dismissal would help the Democrats more than a trial and acquittal.

Quite possible.

In 1974, the GOP was a party.   It is now a cult.   So none of this matters.   Thanks to the Kochs et al, a far-right cabal took over the GOP,  and members were programmed to believe anything they hear from officials and from Faux News, a lot of long-debunked economic and social theories.  With a dollop of theocracy.   Of course Trump won't be convicted.   A dismissal will just eliminate the sham that a Senate trial would be (a sham in the sense that most GOP senators will only pretend to hear evidence and pretend to consider it).   The real question is how many independent voters have drunk the Fox/Koch/Trump tea-flavored koolaid.

I seriously doubt you have ever done any research on the Kochs.

I'm just parroting what the Senate GOP previously told Trump.  You disagree?  It's "your" party.

I said okay.  Gave you the benefit.

Goes with the line of thinking that Dems IMPEACHED to score election points, not to remove this leader.

You really are a dumbass.  I've been saying from Day 1 that impeachment was a bad idea for the Democratic Party.   I used more than 280 characters a couple of times, so I guess you missed it.

Why do you think anyone would remember?  Your posts really dont have that impact here.

You're a decent chap, which is why people here seldom go at you.

You've just lost your way with some of us.

In other words, I'm not a troll.  Serious question, Kid.  Do you have a college degree?
